Photographer
Mitchell Funk demonstrates the link between minimalism and street
photography, which is usually associated with a loose snapshot style.
The
present image fuses different architectural styles, shapes, and colors
into a highly dramatic and original New York City image. Here, Funk
incorporates a colorful 42nd Street marquee as an unexpected framing
device to highlight the iconic spire of the Chrysler Building. The image
showcases close-up and distant elements that form a unified
composition. It emphasizes Funk's meticulously crafted and designed
style, giving the photograph a strong pictorial presence, and is part of
the photographer's current exhibition. Mitchell Funk Photographs the
Chrysler Building for 50 Years.
